Could it be possible that a full-blown eruption of the Yellowstone super volcano is not too far away? All over the world seismic activity has been increasing in recent years, and this process seems to have accelerated during the early days of 2019. In particular, quite a few once dormant volcanoes are springing to life again, and this has many concerned about what could potentially happen at Yellowstone. Of course Yellowstone has never been “dormant”, but there have been new signs of life over the past six months. Entirely new geysers have sprung out of the ground, Steamboat Geyser has been the most active that it has been in decades, and some geysers have even been shooting “debris and rocks” into the sky. And now we are being told that “a 465-mile-long piece of molten rock” is “rising” directly under Yellowstone…

SCIENTISTS are closely monitoring a 465-mile-long piece of molten rock
rising below the Yellowstone caldera, a bombshell documentary has revealed.

The supervolcano, located in Yellowstone National Park, has erupted three
times in history – 2.1 million years ago, 1.2 million years ago and 640,000
years ago. Volcanoes typically blow when molten rock, known as magma, rises to
the surface following the Earth’s mantle melting due to tectonic plates
shifting. However, geologists have revealed how Yellowstone’s magma chamber,
which sits on top of the magma plume, is slowly rising each year.

Hopefully nothing major will happen at Yellowstone for a very long time.

But experts assure us that another full-blown eruption will take place one
day, and when it does, it could potentially create a global “volcanic winter”
which would make growing crops almost impossible and ultimately cause horrific
global famines. The following quote comes from Dr.
Christopher Kilburn…

“As a result of which, the amount of sunlight reaching the surface of the
earth drops and, as a consequence of that, it will trigger what is called a
volcanic winter in that the temperatures never get a chance to recover.

“So you go through winter, the ash veil prevents the sun from warming up the
earth seasonally so you just get continued winters which might trigger,
ultimately, extensive ice coverage.”

If Yellowstone were to erupt today, none of our lives would ever be the same
again from that moment on.

We are talking about a disaster that is on a scale that most of us couldn’t
even imagine, and it would instantly render most of the country completely
uninhabitable. The following is an extended excerpt from one of my previous articles about
Yellowstone…

I would like to try to describe for you what a full-blown eruption of
the Yellowstone supervolcano would mean for this country.

Hundreds of cubic miles of ash, rock and lava would be blasted into the
atmosphere, and this would likely plunge much of the northern hemisphere into
several days of complete darkness. Virtually everything within 100 miles of
Yellowstone would be immediately killed, but a much more cruel fate would
befall those that live in major cities outside of the immediate blast zone such
as Salt Lake City and Denver.

Hot volcanic ash, rock and dust would rain down on those cities
literally for weeks. In the end, it would be extremely difficult for anyone
living in those communities to survive. In fact, it has been estimated that 90
percent of all people living within 600 miles of Yellowstone would be killed.

Experts project that such an eruption would dump a layer of volcanic ash
that is at least 10 feet deep up to 1,000 miles away, and approximately
two-thirds of the United States would suddenly become uninhabitable. The
volcanic ash would severely contaminate most of our water supplies, and growing
food in the middle of the country would become next to impossible.

In other words, it would be the end of our country as we know it today.

The rest of the planet, and this would especially be true for the
northern hemisphere, would experience what is known as a “nuclear winter”. An
extreme period of “global cooling” would take place, and temperatures around
the world would fall by up to 20 degrees. Crops would fail all over the planet,
and severe famine would sweep the globe.

In the end, billions could die.

Scientists are constantly monitoring Yellowstone for potential signs of an
eruption, but the truth is that a major disaster of this magnitude would
probably come with little or no warning.

It is undeniable that in recent months there have been signs of increased
activity at Yellowstone. That doesn’t mean that an eruption is imminent,
but without a doubt it should be a cause for concern.

Residents took to earthquake monitoring site EMSC to share their
experiences. One said: “Long and big. Significant anxiety spike!

Another added: “That was scary. Hard quake.”

We are not even to the middle of January, and there have already been more
than 100 significant earthquakes in Alaska so far this year.

That is not normal.

Our planet appears to be going through some major changes, and many believe
that all of this seismic activity is an indication that things are about to
become quite apocalyptic. I am
personally of the opinion that we are going to continue to see a rise in the
number of earthquakes and that we are going to continue to see a rise in the
number of volcanic eruptions.

As I have said before, the shell of our planet is cracked, and we are just
floating on the pieces. Now those pieces appear to be getting
increasingly unstable, and that is going to affect us in ways that most people
cannot even imagine right now.

A strong voice for evangelicals around the world says Christians should expect some big changes in the world’s religious landscape this year.

Rev. Johnnie Moore has worked behind the scenes with the US administration
and other world leaders, including recent meetings with Saudi Arabia’s crown
prince and other leaders in Muslim countries.

He tells the Religion News Service we’ll see changes in America’s
intersections with faith, along with some global transitions, dynamic
alliances, and evangelical growth

For example, Moore pointed out a few days ago on Twitter that persecuted
Christians in Egypt are beginning to see some positive signs from the
government there.

Moore, who’s been called “a modern-day Dietrich Bonhoeffer,” serves
as a commissioner on the US Commission on International Religious Freedom,
president of the Congress of Christian Leaders and an informal spokesperson for
the evangelicals who advise the Trump administration. He is the founder of the
KAIROS Company, a media relations company representing many influential
Christian leaders and organizations.

In his interview with RNS, Moore highlighted the transition of power taking
place in multiple historic institutions. Whether politically, academically, or
theologically, Moore recognizes the power dynamic shift as “many older
millennials will jump their Generation X siblings in being selected for those
positions.”

He even feels historic institutions no longer carry the level of dominance they
once had, citing the “digital age” as the cause for the major shifts.

“The organizations will continue to hold major sway but a different type
of sway, which will largely be determined by how they adapt,” Moore said.

The digital age – fueled more and more by the proliferation of mobile
devices and other forms of technology – is catapulting the world to
another dimension of independent thinking and expression. Of course, social
media has played a significant role in institutions such as religion and
politics.

With individuals having access to more knowledge and methods of expressing
their own views, Moore sees a growth in dynamic alliances as many move outside
of cultural and institutional norms.

Moore cited the recent bipartisan agreement of conservative evangelical
advisers to President Trump and liberal CNN host Van Jones about the First Step
Act as an example of dynamic alliances taking place.

“More practically speaking, in light of the unprecedented bipartisan
efforts (and success) of the First Step Act, there will be other such efforts
because there is now a bipartisan playbook for our divided moment,” Moore
said. “The First Step Act, a justice reform bill, was actually only the
most public of several of these successes made possible by certain Democrats
who believe ‘resistance’ is un-American and of center-right evangelicals who
believe in what the late theologians Carl F.H. Henry and Francis Schaefer
called ‘co-belligerency.'”

Moore believes the dynamic alliances will carry over to religion as global
interfaith efforts are gradually growing.

He’s expecting increased interfaith exchanges between Christians, Muslims
and Jews, and even the Hindu community, stating efforts may even include
“the very real possibility that 2019 will likely be the year one or more
majority-Muslim, and even Arab, countries — while remaining ever supportive of
a Palestinian state — will decide that a resolution to the Israeli and
Palestinian conflict is not a mandatory prerequisite for detente if not full-on
diplomatic relations with the State of Israel.”

Other predictions include evangelicalism becoming the second largest stream of
global Christianity and Trump utilizing his Senate Republican majority “to
stack the courts in the United States with originalist judges.”

January
9, 2019 by Michael Snyder
Something is
happening to our planet. The mainstream media is not talking much about
this, and the experts assure us that everything is going to be just fine, but
the truth is that we have been witnessing an unusual amount of seismic activity
all over the world. Up until just recently, most of the shaking has been
elsewhere on the globe, and so it has been easy for most Americans to
ignore. But now North America is rattling, and that isn’t going to be so
easy to brush aside. In fact, 2019 has barely even gotten started and the
state of Alaska has already been hit by 81 significant
earthquakes…

Alaska notoriously experiences a lot of seismic activity, and in the first
nine days of 2019 has been shaken by 81 earthquakes of a magnitude 2.5 or
higher according to the United States Geological Survey. Of these, five have
been magnitude 4.5 or higher, with one reaching magnitude 6.1. This huge quake
took place 54km south-southwest of Tanaga Volcano on January 5.

Is this normal?

No, of course it is not normal. And the heightened seismic activity
that has been taking place all along the Ring of Fire is not normal
either. Just ask the people that were devastated by the massive
tsunami that just hit Indonesia.

We live at a time when major Earth changes are taking place, and this has tremendous
implications for all of us. In particular, the hundreds of millions
of people that live along the perimeter of the Pacific Ocean need to understand
that the Ring of Fire has entered a perilous new phase. If seismic
activity continues to escalate, we could soon be talking about major disasters
in which millions of people suddenly die.

Sadly, I am not exaggerating about that one bit.

Thankfully the southern coastline of Alaska is not heavily populated,
because that is where one of the most dangerous subduction zones in the entire
world is located…

It is located along the notorious Ring of Fire, a horseshoe-shaped arc in
the Pacific Ocean which joins the Pacific and North American plates.

This area – where two of the Earth’s tectonic plates meet – is marked by
zones known as subduction zones.

And one of the fastest moving underwater tectonic faults is one which lies
in southeastern Alaska according to the USGS.

It is known as “the Denali Fault”, and it has even more destructive
potential than the San Andreas Fault does. The following comes from Wikipedia…

The Denali Fault is located in Alaska’s Denali National Park and to the east. This
National Park includes part of a massive mountain range more than 600 miles
long. Along the Denali Fault, lateral and vertical offset movement is taking
place (as evidenced by many earthquakes in the region).

The steep north face of Denali, known as the Wickersham Wall, rises
15000 feet from its base, and is a result of this relatively recent movement.

If you are wondering, the magnitude 7.0 earthquake that recently shook
Anchorage did not happen along the Denali fault.

But it was still the most destructive quake to hit Alaska in many years, and
it really shook up many of those that live in the region. For example,
ever since the earthquake happened one little girl will not go to sleep at
night without
a 100 pound pit bull tucked in right next to her…

A little toddler is filmed tucking in her 100lbs pit bull after becoming so
scared to sleep without him.

Adalynn Leary became too scared to sleep without her ‘best friend and
bodyguard’ since their home in Alaska was hit by a 7.0 magnitude earthquake.

Her father Kyle Leary said that his daughter cuddles Fury as he helps ease
her anxiety.

Hopefully that pit bull is well trained, because we have all read about what
they can do when they get upset about something.

Anyway, it isn’t just Alaska that has been hit by unusual earthquakes
lately. Earlier this week, the state of Mississippi was struck by a magnitude 3.7
earthquake…

A 3.7 magnitude earthquake was reported in Hollandale, Mississippi around
4:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Shaking was felt throughout Washington County, however, according to
Emergency Management Division Manager David Burford, there have been no reports
of any damage. “The ground shook, but not for long.”

The earthquake was at a depth of 5 kilometers, which is very shallow.

Earthquakes are not supposed to happen in Mississippi.

And last month eastern Tennessee was hit by the largest earthquake that it
had experienced in 45 years.

Was that just another “coincidence”, or was it part of an overall trend that
is emerging?

Globally, we have seen major earthquakes of at least magnitude 6.0 hit Japan, Brazil, and Indonesia over the last several days.

More “coincidences”?

We have entered a period of time when earthquakes are striking in diverse
places, and many believe that this is just the beginning.

I understand that the mainstream media is completely obsessed with all
things related to President Trump right now, but the changes that are happening
to our planet are going to become a bigger and bigger story.

And someday in the not too distant future an absolutely massive seismic
event will hit a major population center, and at that point everything will
begin to change.

On the evening of the 20th of January, a very strange phenomenon will happen. A total lunar eclipse that has been dubbed a “super blood wolf moon” will appear in the sky above America. The entire eclipse from beginning to end will be visible from every single location in the continental United States, but much of the rest of the world will miss out on this experience completely. For example, the eclipse will not be visible at all anywhere in China. Some would argue that it is just a coincidence, but it is almost as if somebody arranged the timing of this “super blood wolf moon” so that it would be seen specifically by people living in the United States. And it just so happens that this “super blood wolf moon” will occur precisely on the second anniversary of the inauguration of Donald Trump.

Of course some of you may have never even heard of a “super blood wolf
moon”. Basically, what that term means is that a “super moon”, a “blood
moon” and a “wolf moon” will all be happening simultaneously.

A “blood moon” happens during a lunar eclipse when some of the sun’s light
is still able to reach the moon. The following comes from USA Today…

Although the moon is in Earth’s shadow, some sunlight still
reaches the moon. The sunlight passes through Earth’s atmosphere, which causes
our atmosphere to filter out most of the blue light.

Some sunlight reaches the Earth’s atmosphere, which envelops
the moon and gives it the rich color.

A “super moon” happens when a full moon coincides with the moon’s orbit
being within 90 percent of its closest approach to Earth, and that can make the
moon look much bigger and
brighter than normal…

A super moon occurs when the full moon is at the closest
point of its orbit to the Earth, which is also called the perigee.

That makes the moon look extra close and extra bright – up to
14% bigger and 30% brighter than a full moon at its farthest point from Earth,
known as the apogee, NASA said.

This will be the first lunar eclipse of 2019 and the last total lunar
eclipse until 2021. It coincides with the year’s first full moon — a “wolf
moon” in the folklore tradition because it occurs at a time of year when wolves
howl outside villages — and comes when the moon is slightly bigger and brighter
because it’s at the closest point to Earth in its elliptical orbit.

Since it’s a so-called supermoon that’s being shadowed, some media outlets
have dubbed this eclipse a “super blood wolf moon.”

So is it significant that all three of these things are happening at the
exact same time on the second anniversary of Donald Trump’s inauguration?
Well, Pastor Mark Biltz sure seems to think so…

“Trump was born on the night of June 14, 1946, within 15 minutes of a total
lunar eclipse and 700 days before the state of Israel was established. When he
was sworn in as president on January 20, 2017, he was 70-years-old, seven
months and seven days. Also, very significantly, the Super Blood Moon also
falls on the Jewish holiday of Tu B’Shevat. Even more significant is the fact
that there was another Blood Moon on Tu B’Shevat last year! Last year the blood
moon was seen over the Middle East and this year will be seen over the U.S.”

In ancient times, a “blood moon” was considered to be a sign of impending
doom, and some Christian leaders are pointing out that the Bible says that the
moon will be an important “sign” during the times that the Bible refers to as
“the last days”.

25 “There will be
signs in the sun and the moon and the
stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the
waves roaring; 26 men fainting from fear and expectation of what is coming on the
inhabited earth. For the powers of heaven will be shaken. 27 Then they will see the
Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 When these things begin
to happen, look up and lift up your heads, for your redemption is drawing
near.”

I watched as He opened the sixth seal. And suddenly there was a great
earthquake. The sun became black, like sackcloth made from goat hair, and the
moon became like blood.

Ultimately there will be a lot of debate about what this “super blood wolf
moon” could possibly mean, but at this point nobody really knows.

But it does seem very odd that it is happening exactly on the second
anniversary of the inauguration of Donald Trump. Whether you love him or
you hate him, in America today it seems like the entire world revolves around
Trump. The mainstream media has been fixated on him since the moment he
first announced that he was running for president, his decisions are deeply
affecting the lives of every man, woman and child in the whole country, and
everybody in the entire nation simply can’t stop talking about him.

Even when I write articles that have nothing to do with Trump at all, most
of the comments that my readers post are still about Trump.

Many believe that the fate of the United States appears to be inseparably
linked with Donald Trump, and I am sure that my readers will feverishly debate
whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

But without a doubt, 2019 is shaping up to be a very challenging year,
and later this month a very strange omen will appear directly in the sky over
America on the second anniversary of Trump’s inauguration.

China’s armed forces should be ready for combat and be
prepared for unexpected crisis and war, President Xi Jinping said on Friday in
his first meeting with the military top brass in Beijing in 2019.

The massive and rapidly modernizing, People’s Liberation Army
(PLA) should have enhanced awareness of danger, crisis and war, Xi told a
meeting of the central military commission (CMC), the top military organization
in the country of which he is the chairperson.

It is effectively being seen as Xi’s first order to the
military in 2019 where he also signed a mobilization command for the training
of the armed forces through the year.

Besides the festering land border problem with India, Xi’s
command comes against the background of continuing maritime territorial
disputes with multiple countries in the South China Sea and growing tension
with the US over Beijing’s aim to reunify Taiwan, which it considers a breakaway
nation.

Xi, in fact, said on Wednesday that China reserved the right
to use force to achieve “reunification” with Taiwan, which is an independent
and democratically-run country.

He brought up Taiwan days after US President Donald Trump
signed the Asia Reassurance Initiative Act into law, reaffirming the US
commitment to the island’s security.

“The entire armed forces should have a correct understanding
of China’s security and development trends, enhance their awareness of danger,
crisis and war, and make solid efforts on combat preparations in order to
accomplish the tasks assigned by the Party (the ruling Communist Party of
China) and the people,” Xi said.

“The world is facing a period of major changes never seen in a
century, and China is still in an important period of strategic opportunity for
development,” Xi was quoted as saying by the official news agency, Xinhua,
warning that various risks and challenges were on the rise.

The Chinese President stressed the armed forces’ ability to
respond quickly and effectively to contingencies, asking them to upgrade
commanding capability of joint operations, foster new combat forces, and
improve military training under combat conditions.

China and India, in fact, had come close to a military clash
in 2017 when border troops from the two countries had a 73-day standoff near
the Sikkim border at Doklam.

Diplomatic negotiations finally separated the troops and
defused the situation, which had threatened to trigger a border clash.

Interestingly, Chinese state media made an international
splash this week by publicizing the testing of the “mother of all bombs” or
MOAB, the most powerful non-nuclear bomb in the PLA’s arsenal.

The new bomb’s destructive powers were publicized in a short
video this week for the first time, the Xinhua news agency reported on
Wednesday on its mobile application.

The report said it is China’s most powerful non-nuclear bomb,
and that the H-6K bomber could only carry one at a time due to its size.

In this December 31st
story written by Jim Quinn over at The Burning Platform which Steve Quayle called the most important article
he’d read this month, Quinn lays out for us why we’re clearly approaching an ‘end game‘ of sorts that nothing and
nobody can stop as we’re nearing the end of a human and societal life cycle
that has been repeated again and again and again going back nearly 500 years
into American history.

Warning within his story that we’re now approaching the 11th year of the
current “Fourth Turning“, right along
the mid-point of that 20+ year cycle, if history holds true, the next 10+ years
will bring great trouble and hardship and possibly the end of our nation. Keep
in mind, the excerpt you read below from the book “The Fourth Turning” was
written more than 20 years ago, long before President Donald Trump got into office
and more than a decade before we entered ‘the 4th turning‘
that we’re now in which began in 2008.

“The risk of catastrophe will be very high. The
nation could erupt into insurrection or civil violence, crack up
geographically, or succumb to authoritarian rule. If there is a war, it is
likely to be one of maximum risk and effort – in other words, a total war.
Every Fourth Turning has registered an upward ratchet in the technology of
destruction, and in mankind’s willingness to use it.

History offers no guarantees. Obviously, things
could go horribly wrong – the possibilities ranging from a nuclear exchange to
incurable plagues, from terrorist anarchy to high-tech dictatorship. We should
not assume that Providence will always exempt our nation
from the irreversible tragedies that have overtaken so many others: not just
temporary hardship, but debasement and total ruin. Losing in the next Fourth
Turning could mean something incomparably worse. It could mean a lasting defeat
from which our national innocence – perhaps even our nation – might never
recover.” – Strauss & Howe – The Fourth Turning

With the war upon President Trump a very real war upon America, our national
sovereignty and the results of our 2016 election, and nothing less than a very
real coup attempt by the ‘deep state‘ and
Democrats upon our Republic, Quinn warned in his story of the very real dangers
America faces because of these attacks with the following
2 paragraphs, the closing of his story, echoing Snyder and also hinting of great dangers ahead as
we arrive in 2019.

I don’t eagerly await the terrible storms
headed our way. I wish we didn’t have to withstand the brutal gales of this
coming winter, but we have no choice. You have to survive Winter to experience
the blossoming Spring. The coming decade will try our souls and force everyone
to make choices that will make a difference. The specific
events are unknowable, but how we react and who we support during the events
will be the decisive factor in whether this Fourth Turning is resolved in a
positive way. Having it resolved in
negative way could be an unimaginable tragedy.

Patrick Henry made his famous “Give me liberty
or give me death” speech during the first American Fourth Turning. His words
ring true today. We are already at war. Sides have been drawn. We are going to
have to fight whether we like it or not. Our only other choice is chains and
slavery. The time to choose has arrived. Welcome to 2019.

This astonishing book will change the way you
see the world — and your place in it.

With startling originality, The Fourth Turning
illuminates the past, explains the present, and reimagines the future. Most
remarkably, it offers an utterly persuasive prophecy about a new American era
that will begin just after the millennium.

William Strauss and Neil Howe base this vision
on a provocative new theory of American history. The authors look back five hundred years
and uncover a distinct pattern: Modern history moves in cycles, each one
lasting about the length of a long human life, each composed of four eras–or
“turnings”–that last about twenty years and that always arrive in the same order.

First comes a High, a period of confident
expansion as a new order takes root after the old has been swept away. Next
comes an Awakening, a time of spiritual exploration and rebellion against the
now-established order. Then comes an Unraveling, an increasingly troubled era
in which individualism triumphs over crumbling institutions. Last comes a
Crisis–the Fourth Turning–when society passes
through a great and perilous gate in history. Together, the four
turnings comprise history’s seasonal rhythm of growth,
maturation, entropy, and rebirth.

Strauss and Howe locate today’s America as
midway through an Unraveling, roughly a decade away from the next era of
Crisis. (ANP: Keep in mind their book was written in 1996!) In a brilliant
analysis of the post-World War II period, they show how generational dynamics
are the key to understanding the cycles of American history. They draw vivid
portraits of all the modern generations: the can-do G.I.s, the mediating
Silent, the values-absorbed Boomers, the pragmatic 13ers, and the child Millennials. Placed in the
context of history’s long rhythms, the persona and role of each generation
become clear–as does the inevitability of the coming Crisis.

Whatever your stage of life, The Fourth Turning
offers bold predictions about how all of us can prepare, individually and
collectively, for America’s next rendezvous with destiny.

“I put down The Fourth Turning with a
mixture of terror and excitement….If Strauss and Howe are right, they will
take their place among the great American prophets.” –David Kaiser, Boston Globe

“One of the best efforts to give us an
integrated vision of where we are going.” –Wall Street Journal

“A startling vision of what the cycles of
history predict for the future.” –USA Weekend

And from a verified Amazon book purchaser: Fasten your
seatbelts

This is the kind of book I should ordinarily
despise. It contains a broad arc of history viewed internally and is epic in
the worst way possible. And yet, it is incredibly compelling for two reasons:
(i) there is something to be said for viewing history from the perspective of
generational change and (ii) the prediction made in the book (written in 1998)
that we will enter a time of crisis around 2005 give or take a few years was
spot on. In addition, minor points should be given for turning the spotlight on
the financial world as the catalyst for the crisis of 2008.

In a nutshell, the book advances the view that
history roughly repeats itself every 80 years. Further, every 80 year period is
characterized by the arrival of Artists (silent generation in this cycle),
Prophets (boomers), Nomads (Gen Xers) and Heroes (millennials) (ANP: Called ‘cannon fodder‘ by Quinn). Previous incarnations of this cycle ended
with the war of independence, the civil war and world war II. This naturally
sets up the denouement for this cycle which the authors expect to occur in the
2025 time frame. (ANP: Note 2025 and the Deagel
forecasts!!!)

Each cycle is divided into turnings: the
present one is characterized by First (High: 1946-1964), Second (Awakening:
1964-1984), Third (Unraveling: 1984-2008) and Fourth (Crisis: 2008-202X). From
the book’s perspective and Neil Howe’s subsequent blog posts, we entered the Fourth
Turning in 2008. There’s nothing spooky or mystical about these cycles and
turnings: instead the authors stress that human nature and culture seem to have
these rhythms and that Anglo-American history is stable enough to be
characterized in this manner. Other cultures may either be too stable or too
chaotic to follow this type of pattern.

Prior to the arrival of Donald Trump and
despite the eerie portend of the financial crisis, I would have dismissed this
book. Now, it looks positively prophetic. Is there any doubt now that the
combination of (i) income inequality, (ii) the economic problems of the white
working class, (iii) the culture wars, (iv) multiculturalism and globalism, (v)
the ravages of identity politics and postmodernism and (vi) terrorism is not
going to be a combustible mix over the next decade? And that these will
simultaneously distract us from combating global warming – the clear threat of
the next era? (ANP: Notice the blame upon Trump and
‘global warming!) While I find it hard to buy into the notion that
the US will face an existential crisis (as predicted by the book), there’s
definitely merit in the view that the next ten years will probably have the
capability of shocking us however jaded we may be at the present time.

And while here at ANP, we avoid putting dates upon potential
future events that are completely out of our control, we can’t help but agree
with Jim Quinn and Michael Snyder, that a ‘perfect storm‘ is
blowing in on many different fronts with a potential explosion of chaos and
civil and social unrest just around the corner with the mainstream
media continuing to whip the dumbed down masses into an anti-Trump frenzy while Trump supporters call for him
to go all-in on America.

Kunstler, who writes stories for The Atlantic Monthly, RollingStone and The New
York Times Sunday Magazine, had a perfect response to Snyder’s question though
not addressing Snyder directly. From Infowars.:

“Be prepared for civil unrest in 2019,”
Kunstler writes. “There are going to be a lot of
pissed-off people around the country. They are liable to attack Federal
property and their fellow citizens (and their property). The hungrier they are,
the worse it will be.”

Kunstler warns that before
the year is out, “the US could find itself in a situation worse than the Great
Depression” because the Federal Reserve will be forced to oversee a
new round of quantitative easing in the second quarter of 2019, a policy that
will cause the dollar to lose value “uncontrollably and catastrophically,” wiping
out pension funds.

The debt bubble inflated by the Fed will
mandate money printing, leading to “incendiary resentment among the citizenry
when they realize they’ve been played and it takes a
wheelbarrow full of cash to buy a loaf of bread and a jar of peanut butter,”
according to Kunstler, who says the entire disaster
will be blamed on President Trump.

And we can’t help but notice the date range that this is all playing out in,
with Strauss and Howe now warning this “fourth turning”
we’re in could extend to the year 2030 as heard in the 2nd video below, and the
year 2025 falling perfectly within that date range. As we’ve reported before
numerous times on ANP, according to forecasts made by the website Deagel, a
website which uses ‘deep state sources‘ to make
their forecasts, America will be a 3rd world nation by 2025.

Stargazers will witness a trifecta of lunar events in the
New Year — a total lunar eclipse, a super blood Moon and a “Wolf
Moon,” a nickname for a full Moon that appears in the middle of winter.

Millions of people across North and South America and
portions of western Europe and Africa will be able to catch the rare sight
overnight on January 20 into January 21, according to National Geographic. For a few hours, the moon
will give off a bright reddish glow.

“A total lunar eclipse can happen only when the Sun, Earth and Moon are
perfectly lined up — anything less than perfection creates a partial lunar
eclipse or no eclipse at all,” Space.com
explains.

You won’t want to miss it. Earth won’t experience another total lunar
eclipse, which occurs when the entire Moon enters Earth’s shadow, until May
2021, NASA estimates.

Here’s everything you need to know about the unusual phenomenon.

When can I see the 2019 total lunar eclipse?

The 2019 total lunar eclipse will last approximately 1 hour and 2 minutes, Space.com reports. It will kick off around 11:41 p.m.
ET on Jan. 20 and peak around 12:16 a.m. ET on Jan. 21.

The longest possible lunar eclipse is 1 hour and 47 minutes, according to EarthSky. The longest total lunar eclipse of
the last century was on July 16, 2000, and lasted for 1 hour and 46.4 minutes,
the space site notes.

What is a “super blood moon”?

A supermoon is a new or full moon that appears closer than usual
because it’s the closest distance the moon gets to Earth during its orbit,
known as “perigee” located about 363,000 kilometers from Earth, NASA says.

Supermoons typically appear 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than
the average moon seen in the sky each night, Dr. Noah Petro, a research
scientist from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, previously told Fox News. However, it’s hard to really spot
the difference with the naked eye.

The term “blood” stems from the rusty brownish-red color the Moon
turns during a total lunar eclipse.

“That’s because some of the sunlight going through Earth’s atmosphere
is bent around the edge of our planet and falls onto the moon’s surface.
Earth’s air also scatters more shorter-wavelength light (in colors such as
green or blue); what’s left is the longer-wavelength, redder end of the
spectrum,” Space.com states on its website.

What is a “wolf moon”?

The January full moon was nicknamed the “wolf Moon” — and
occasionally the “Old Moon” — by Native American tribes after wolves
that howled outside as they hunted for food in mid-winter.

“This is an age-old practice, nothing new. Ancient peoples commonly
tracked the seasons by following the lunar calendar (versus today’s solar
calendar),” The Old Farmer’s Almanac explains
in a post online.

Beijing has a devastating plan to force the world out of the East and South China Seas — and it could cost the US 10,000 lives.Jamie SeidelNews Corp Australia Network January 2, 201910:17amChinese Military MightThey’re the pride of the US fleet: enormous 100,000 tonne, 333m long nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. But Beijing thinks they’re Washington’s achilles heel.Rear Admiral Lou Yuan has told an audience in Shenzhen that the ongoing disputes over the ownership of the East and South China Seas could be resolved by sinking two US super carriers.Taiwan’s Central News Agency (CNA) reports Admiral Lou gave a wide-ranging speech on the state of Sino-US relations. The high-profile, hawkish military commentator reportedly declared the current trade spat was “definitely not simply friction over economics and trade,” but was instead a “prime strategic issue”.His speech, delivered on December 20 to the 2018 Military Industry List summit, declared that China’s new and highly capable anti-ship ballistic and cruise missiles were more than capable of hitting US carriers, despite them being at the centre of a ‘bubble’ of defensive escorts.“What the United States fears the most is taking casualties,” Admiral Lou declared.He said the loss of one super carrier would cost the US the lives of 5000 service men and women. Sinking two would double that toll.“We’ll see how frightened America is.”FIGHTING WORDSRear Admiral Lou Yuan is deputy head of the Chinese Academy of Military Sciences.In his speech, he said there were ‘five cornerstones of the United States’ open to exploitation: their military, their money, their talent, their voting system — and their fear of adversaries.Admiral Lou, who holds an academic military rank — not a service role — said China should “use its strength to attack the enemy’s shortcomings. Attack wherever the enemy is afraid of being hit. Wherever the enemy is weak …”It’s not the controversial commentator’s first aggressive outburst.And its part of a steadily escalating war of words between the two nations.Earlier in December, the Chinese state-run Global Times published the views of a panel of such ‘military commentators’ concerning Beijing’s sovereignty claims over Taiwan and the East and South China Seas.“If the US naval fleet dares to stop in Taiwan, it is time for the People’s Liberation Army to deploy troops to promote national unity on (invade) the island,” Admiral Lou said. “Achieving China’s complete unity is a necessary requirement. The achievement of the past 40 years of reform and opening-up has given us the capability and confidence to safeguard our sovereignty. Those who are trying to stir up trouble in the South China Sea and Taiwan should be careful about their future.”It was just one of a string of similarly hawkish views.“The PLA is capable of taking over Taiwan within 100 hours with only a few dozen casualties,” said retired lieutenant general Wang Hongguang. “2018 is a year of turmoil for Taiwan, and a possible military conflict may take place in Taiwan soon. (But) As long as the US doesn’t attack China-built islands and reefs in the South China Sea, no war will take place in the area.”Beijing has annexed several reefs in the South China Sea, engaging in an enormous geo-engineering project to build artificial islands upon which it has placed heavily fortified airfields and ports.STEEL DINOSAURS?The United States’ enormous aircraft carriers are considered the centrepieces of its navy and highly visible embodiments of that nation’s power.At $US8.5 billion ($A12 billion) each, they’re also a huge economic investment.And questions have been growing over their continued relevance to modern warfare.As with the ‘gunboat diplomacy’ of huge armoured and heavily gunned battleships before World War II, some military analysts technological advances have made these ships obsolete.Once, aircraft carriers were able to project military might (through their aircraft) while unseen and outside the reach of defences.Now, with modern satellite and over-the-horizon radar systems, they can no longer rely upon being unseen. And land-based missiles potentially out-reach their aircraft — forcing carriers to move into ‘danger zones’ before they can be effective.But heavily networked radars, decoys and antimissile systems aboard the aircraft carriers themselves and their escorts are believed capable of warding off attacks from current-generation missiles.However, both China and Russia have claimed they are rapidly bringing into service a new generation of hypersonic weapons which simply move too fast to counteract.

December 16, 2018 by MichaelSnyderGlobal earth changes appear to beaccelerating once again, but the mainstream media in the United States is nottalking about it, and so most Americans have absolutely no idea what ishappening. Within the last 24 hours, we have seen close to 40 significantearthquakes of at least magnitude 2.5 along the Ring of Fire, but even morealarming are the two major volcanic eruptions which just took place. Mount Soputan is one of the most dangerous volcanoes in Indonesia, and iterupted twice on Sunday morning. According to the Daily Mail,authorities are reporting that hot volcanic ash was shot 25,000 feet into thesky…A volcano in central Indonesia haserupted, sending columns of thick ash spewing as high as 25,000 feet into thesky.Mount Soputan, a 6,000ft peak inMinahasa on the northern part of Sulawesi island, erupted twice on Sundaymorning.A two-and-a-half mile exclusion zonehas been enforced around the mountain as the national disaster agency warnslocal residents to avoid the peak.Those eruptions may have been morespectacular, but the eruption that we just witnessed down in Mexico ispotentially much more concerning.Mt. Popocatepetl has been called themost dangerous mountain in North America for a reason, and officials arecarefully watching “Don Goyo” after it “exploded”on Saturday evening…The active volcano Popocatepetl,located in Central Mexico, has exploded Saturday evening, sending ash twokilometers into the air with the cloud of smoke moving in a northeastdirection.Videos from the eruption show apowerful explosion and traces of magma flowing out of the crater. Possible ashfall is expected in areas surrounding the summit. At the moment the volcanicwarning issued by the Federal Civil Protection remains at ‘Phase 2’.Approximately 25 million people livewithin striking distance of Mt. Popocatepetl, and scientists assure us thatsomeday the 5,426-meter-high “smoking mountain” will devastate the entireMexico City region.And when I say “devastate”, I am notjust talking about a disaster that will inconvenience people for a few weeks.I am talking about an event whichwill cause death and destruction on an absolutely immense scale. According to the experts, in the distant past “Don Goyo” actually producedgigantic mud flows thatburied entire Aztec cities…Historians tell us that Popocatepetlhad a dramatic impact on the ancient Aztecs. Giant mud flows produced bymassive eruptions covered entire Aztec cities. In fact, some of these mud flowswere so large that they buried entire pyramids in super-heated mud.But we haven’t witnessed anythinglike that in any of our lifetimes, so it is hard to even imagine devastation ofthat magnitude.In addition to Mexico City’s mammothpopulation, there are millions of others that live in the surrounding region.Overall, there are about 25 million people that live in the immediate vicinityof Popocatepetl. Thankfully, we haven’t seen a major eruption of the volcano inmodern times, but at some point that will change.Meanwhile, significant earthquakescontinue to rattle areas all along the Ring of Fire.Indonesia was hit by a magnitude 6.1earthquake within the last 24 hours, and a magnitude 5.9 earthquake inAustralia made headlines all over the world…A 5.9 magnitude eathquake has struckWestern Australia, 203km northwest of Carnarvon at 22.26pm local time (2.26pmBST) at a depth of 10km.Locals in Carnarvon reported felingtremors, after the massive earthquake shook the region this afternoon.One resident reported to EMSCearthquake tracker: “I am holidaying with my children we all felt the bedsshake.”We live at a time when seismicactivity isbecoming more intense and more frequent. Some of the “experts”in the United States insist that the numbers are rising simply because we aredoing a better job of “detecting” seismic activity these days, and they promisethat we have absolutely nothing to worry about. But a lot of people areskeptical of that explanation, because they can see that our planet appears tobe getting increasingly unstable.Could it be possible that an era ofdramatically increased seismic activity is about to change all of our lives ina major way?Earlier today, I came across a Britisharticle that discussed the fact that scientists that have studied asupervolcano near Naples, Italy are extremely concerned that it may be“reawakening”…Yellowstone volcano has a rival inEurope, according to a recent study from scientists based in the region. Thevolcano is based in Naples to the west, in a place known as Phlegrean fields,once the site of a world-changing eruption. Scientists have now picked up onnew signs of the volcano complex starting another cycle. This particular volcanois a threat as the end point of the major cycle could be a significanteruption, rivalling the outcome of a Yellowstone eruption in the US.Scientists observing the volcaniccycle of one Campi Flegrei, located in Napoli, are concerned of a “potentialreawakening”.Of course we have seen many formerly“dormant volcanoes” reawaken in recent years.Something very unusual definitelyappears to be happening to our planet, and unlike the mainstream media in theUnited States, this is something that we will be keeping a very close eye on.

“Therefore shall heaven be shaken,
And earth leap out of its place, At the fury of God of Hosts On the day of His
burning wrath.” Isaiah 13:13 (The Israel Bible™)

A mystic rabbi suggested that an
alarming spate of recent geyser activity in Yellowstone National Park may be
the precursor to the pre-Messiah war of Gog and Magog. While scientists predict
that seismic activity will increase, people of faith look for the spiritual
implications.

After four years of total silence,
the Steamboat Geyser in Yellowstone National Park in northwest Wyoming came
back to life on Saturday, shooting steam 200 feet into the air. Steamboat
is the largest in the world with eruptions reaching up to 400 feet. This
latest eruption set a new record for the geyser of 30 eruptions in one year.
The previous record of 29 eruptions was set in 54 years ago in 1964.

The geyser erupted for the first
time this year on March 14. It was the first activity at the site since 2014.
The geyser is unpredictable with eruptions dispersed anywhere from days to
years apart. The geyser did not erupt at all from 1911 to 1961.

Yellowstone park is seismically
active with more than 10,000 thermal features of which more than 500 are
geysers.

“The heightened activity at
Steamboat this year is uncommon but not unprecedented. We have seen similar
activity twice previously; once in the early 1960s, and again in the early
1980s. Conversely, the world’s tallest active geyser has also exhibited years
of quiescence or no major eruptions, with the longest being the 50-year period
between 1911 and 1961,” Jeff Hungerford, Yellowstone’s park geologist, told the
local media.
“We’ll continue to monitor this extraordinary geyser.”

A correlation between geyser
activity and earthquakes has not been proven, but some scientists believe that
geological shifting may lead to increased geothermal events. The Yellowstone
region has seen a period of increased earthquakes and swarms of minor tremors.
In June 2017, the Wyoming area of Yellowstone was hit by a persistent swarm of
approximately 2,400 tremors. These swarms are continuing this year at a
slightly lower rate.

Rabbi Yekutiel Fish,
author of the Hebrew Torah blog, Sod HaChashmal, emphasized that forces of
nature, such as earthquakes and volcanoes, are manifestations of God’s
judgement, denoted in the Bible by His name ‘elohim.’ The rabbi noted
that the seismic aspect of God’s influence in the world was explicitly
described in Psalms.

Therefore we are not afraid though
the earth reels, though mountains topple into the sea. Its waters rage and
foam; in its swell mountains quake. Selah. Psalms 46:3-4

“The entire world will be judged
before the Moshiach (Messiah),” Rabbi Fish told Breaking Israel News.
“Nature will change, be less normal, because God will be guiding it in a more
direct manner.”

“This will be especially true during
the War of Gog and Magog,” he said. “The war will be unique in that it won’t be
simply a war between countries. God will play a major role via nature, through
natural disasters.”

“The verse in Psalms is clearly
referring to tsunamis which will increase in the days preceding Messiah,” Rabbi
Fish said. But we also see that earthquakes will increase around the world.”

In fact, scientists have predicted
that this year could see a surge
in seismic activity around the globe. In their study published in Geophysical Research Letters, Roger Bilham and Rebecca Bendick presented a model that
predicts that 2018 will be the opening of a window of potentially increased
large earthquake activity due to slight changes in the spin-rate of the Earth.
The rate at which the planet spins changes cyclically and the scientists claim
that five to six years after a period of relatively slow spin, a 30-percent
increase in seismic activity takes place. Though they are unsure of the
duration of the increase, they conjecture it can last up to five years. The
last global slow-down took place in 2012.

Scientists
have also noted that during periods of decreased glaciers it is easier for
magma to reach the surface and feed volcanic eruptions. It can take thousands
of years after the glaciers melt for volcanic activity to rise. Several studies
over the last 40 year have suggested that, as the ice vanished, volcanic
eruptions became much more frequent. A 2009 study, for example, concluded that
between 7,000 and 12,000 years ago, the global level of volcanic activity rose
by up to six times. Around the same period, the rate of volcanic activity in
Iceland soared to at least 30 times today’s level. Though the cause of climate
change is currently a matter of debate in the scientific community, it is
generally accepted that temperatures around the globe are rising. If so, this
may lead to increased volcanic activity.

Although the probability of an
eruption at Yellowstone is minuscule, only a one in 100,000 chance in any given
year according to scientists, the results of such an event would be
catastrophic in the extreme. The Yellowstone Caldera is listed as
the most dangerous supervolcano in existence and as such, is the most monitored
volcano in the world. It has erupted three times over the last 2 million years,
most recently about 70,000 years ago.

The biggest danger from an eruption
is not the lava but the ash. The Yellowstone eruption two million years ago
produced 2,500 times as much ash as the 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption. Ash is
caustic when inhaled and volcanic eruptions can spew the ash high into the
atmosphere. The pileup of ash on rooftops has resulted in building collapses. A
Yellowstone supereruption would disrupt electronics and endanger human health
in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, and affect other parts of the country. Moreover, a
month-long supereruption could affect the global climate for several years.

In comparison, relatively minor
eruptions at Eyjafjallajökull, Iceland in 2010 led to 20 European countries
shutting down their commercial air traffic for one week, affecting more than 20
million travellers.

Major volcanic eruptions that spew
ash into the atmosphere obscuring the sun can lead to a volcanic winter in
which global temperatures drop. The phenomenon is not infrequent, occurring
approximately once each century. The most recent took place in 1991 after the
explosion of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines, cooling global temperatures for
about three years. A more significant drop in temperatures could lead to a
global crisis in food production.

NASA scientists assured the public
that the likelihood of a supereruption is minuscule but nonetheless conducted a
study in 2017 to determine the feasibility of preventing the volcano from
erupting. NASA proposed
introducing water at high pressure six miles underground. Nevertheless,
according to Brian Wilson of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the project might
trigger, instead of prevent, an eruption.

In his weekly sermon last week,
Rabbi Nir Ben Artzi predicted that all manners of natural catastrophes are
going to increase in the coming year.

“God will judge, ‘who to life and
who to death,’” Rabbi Ben Artzi said. He also predicted that international
conflict will increase. “The heart of the king is in the hands of God,” he
said.

In a previous sermon,
he explained why God uses nature in this manner.

“People believe that nature just
happens,” Ben Artzi said. “That is a mistake we make because we don’t always
see or hear God. If God left the world solely in our hands it would have been
destroyed a long time ago.”

Rabbi Fish emphasized that it is a
mistake for men to think they can control nature.

“The only thing we can do is pray
and do tshuva (repent),” Rabbi Fish said. “But these are the greatest
acts a man can do. In our age, when the messsiah is imminent, this can save the
world.”
